... is arrogance.
I know people may think he's nice and all the other great adjectives used to describe him (all of which are probably true), but if you look back since the beginning of his tenure, that arrogance has always been present. a few:
The arrogance to think he could come here with some of the staff he came with, even with their past failures, instead of going for people who could really help out.
the arrogance to think that they didn't need to manage the clock against teams (seen it against byu, usa, and now illinois)
the arrogance to think that they don't need to help out the pass defense "because they want the db's to learn"
the arrogance to think that they could just call pass plays as they did today instead of going with the run in the kind of weather they found themselves in
the arrogance to think they don't need to rotate o-linemen
the arrogance to think they don't need to seriously consider some of the concerns of the fan base (they know what they are).
many more, but i'll stop there. basically, humility is lacking among the members of the staff. and it is costing them games.
